Ecclesiastes 2:13-16 ▼

13 And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

14 The wise—his eyes [are] in his head, and the fool is walking in darkness, and I also knew that one event happens with them all;

15 and I said in my heart, “As it happens with the fool, it happens also with me, and why am I then more wise?” And I spoke in my heart, that also this [is] vanity:

16 That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—for all time, for that which [is] already, [in] the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dies the wise? With the fool!
